Chapter 246 Just then , more distinguished guests arrived at the Weller family estate .


    Harvey walked with two of the familys elite guards .


    away Andrew , Harvey may be a jerk , but the Weller family elders arent pushovers , Francesca warned .


    You dont need to be so confrontational with them ! Cant you see what Harveys doing ? Andrew scoffed .


    Hes just flexing his new authority by parading around with the familys guards .


    If we back down now , hell think he can get away with anything ! Dr.


    Lloyd , Fran , lets go inside , Lauren suggested .


    Whatever happens , Harvey wont cause trouble at his fathers funeral with so many people watching .


    The Weller residences main hall was packed with Jayrodales elite .


    Andrew casually nced around and spotted his old rivals : As , Finley , and Michael , who had also noticed him .


    While nobody started anything , the tension was evident in their pressions .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , hello ! an enthusiastic voice called out .


    Andrew turned to see Ss , the CEO of Radiant Group , approaching with a friendly smile , followed by Elsie in an elegant ck dress that entuated her figure .


    Hello , Mr.


    Vaughn , Ms.


    Santana , Andrew replied politely .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , you did us a huge favor at thest auction , Ss said .


    Ive been looking for an opportunity to thank you properly .


    A favor ? I didnt do anything special , Andrew responded , puzzled .


    Elsie stepped forward , a slight blush on her face .


    If it werent for you , our auction house would have suffered heavy losses .


    Please ept our gratitude .


    If your gratitude involves a private date , I must respectfully decline , Ms.


    Santana , Andrew replied , holding his hand .


    Elsie bit her lip , looking somewhat disappointed .


    Youve already rejected my subtle advances before .


    This time , Im actually inviting you to our auction houses uing appraisal convention .


    Wed be honored if youd attend .


    This time , Andrew did not refuse .


    He smiled and said , Sure , Ill be there .


    After Elsie and Ss left , Lauren nudged Andrew yfully .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , Radiant Groups appraisal convention is a major event in Jayrodale .


    Even the famous Ms.


    Santana personally invited you it seems like she has really fallen for you .


    So what if she has ? Francesca pouted .


    Andrew is a gentleman , not some yboy .


    Elsie will Chapter 246 get the message after being rejected a few more times ! Fran , youre acting like youre Dr.


    Lloyds wife , Lauren teased .


    With the way you guard him , anyone would think youre Mrs.


    Lloyd .


    Francescas face turned red as she avoided Andrews gaze .


    Im doing nothing wrong ! Andrew is our hospitals deputy chief .


    I have a duty to protect his reputation! By then , all the mourners had arrived .


    Harvey took the stage , nked by two Weller family guards .


    Thank you all foring to pay respects to my father , he began .
